Lincoln Motors Savour the City at West

A couple weeks back, I attended a dinner at West courtesy of Lincoln Motors. The luxury auto company hosts these "Savour the City" dinner events across the country, where for a test drive of their newest line of automobiles, they treat you to a three-course meal. This time, they were promoting the new Lincoln MKC.


 I thought this feature was pretty nifty. When a light with the Lincoln logo shines onto the ground when you unlock the doors to the car.

The Lincoln MKC is a beauty; the smallest Lincoln but will packs a punch. Customizable interior lighting and THX sound system were nice touches. After a short test drive, we were ushered to our table at West Restaurant for dinner.
 


 We were treated to some assorted bread with olive oil and butter to start.
Lingerie & Lace - bombay shapphire gin, "Ain't Jermaine" Elderflower liqueur, raspberry, lemon juice + soda
Dinner also came with two complimentary drinks. The Lingerie & Lace intrigued me. I liked it; very fruity.

Tomato and Gin Soup - aged cheddar gougere, basil emulsion
 For appetizers, we chose one of each from the menu. K and I both had the risotto.

Kale 'Caesar' - double smoked bacon, anchovy, brioche croutons

Biodynamic Risotto - side stripe prawn, summer squash, roasted peppers

Wild Point Grey Sockeye Salmon - Salt baked beetroot, grilled octopus, horseradish dill sauce
Our whole table chose the salmon as the main. And we were not disappointed at all. The dish was a piece of art and the salmon, cooked to perfection. It tasted AMAZING! Just thinking about it again has my mouth watering. Mmmm.

Mixed Berry Tart - goat cheese mousse, peppermint ice cream
 All the dessert plates had a Lincoln logo drawn on with chocolate! Nice touch!

Chocolate Maple Pecan Charlotte - orange couus, chocolate sorbet

Delicious cherry truffles to end a delightful night!
